    B) One advantage to using inorganic commercial fertilizer is that the nutrients are immediately available to the plants because they are purposely put in there to do so. Some other advantages are that it’s easily obtained, it speeds up the growing process, and you have a specific nutrient analysis. One disadvantage is it is more expensive and it is easily washed below the plants root systems from leeching of rain and irrigation. On top of that, other disadvantages are that is adds no humus or organic matter, it requires large amounts of energy for production, and over application could cause harm to the plant.…

    Gravimetric Determination of Phosphorus in Fertilizer Samples

    Plants require essential nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium or Sulfur to grow. However, most soils lack these macronutrients thus a decrease in food production. In connection with this, the use of fertilizers containing these macronutrients has been part of the agricultural tradition. Fertilizers have in its labels a set of numbers, known as the fertilizer grade that always appear in the form N-P-K, indicates the proportions of essential nutrients present (ie 10-10-10 which means 10% Nitrogen, 10% Phosphate in the form of P2O5, 10% Potassium in the form of K2O).…

    Gravimetric Analysis: the Determination of Phosphorus in Plant Food

    Plant foods contain three essential nutrients that are not readily available from soils. These are soluble compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. A typical label on a plant food will have a set of numbers such as 15-30-15. These numbers mean that the plant food is guaranteed to contain at least 15% nitrogen, 30% phosphorus (expressed as P2O5) and 15 % potassium (expressed as K2O). The remaining of the product is fillers, dyes and other anions and cations to balance the charge in the chemical compounds.…

    A Description of Fertilizers

    Fertilizer (or fertiliser) is any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming materials) that is applied to soils or to plant tissues (usually leaves) to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Conservative estimates report 30 to 50% of crop yields are attributed to natural or synthetic commercial fertilizer.[1] Global market value is likely to rise to more than US$185 billion until 2019.[2] The European fertilizer market will grow to earn revenues of approx. €15.3 billion in 2018.[3]…

    Utilization of Different Varieties of Dried Leaves into Organic Fertilizer using Earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) as Agents for Fast Decomposition

    Fertilizers are compounds given to plants to promote growth; they are usually applied either through the soil, for uptake by plant roots, or by foliar feeding, for uptake through leaves. Fertilizers can be organic (composed of organic matter), or inorganic (made of simple, inorganic chemicals or minerals). They can be naturally occurring compounds such as peat or mineral deposits, or manufactured through natural processes (such as composting) or chemical processes (such as the Haber process). Fertilizers typically provide, in varying proportions, the three major plant nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), the secondary plant nutrients (calcium, sulfur, magnesium), and sometimes trace elements (or micronutrients) with a role in plant nutrition: boron, chlorine, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, and molybdenum.…

    Fertilizer

    Fertilizer Scientists estimate that the earth 's soil contains less than twenty percent of the necessary organic nutrients needed to meet our current food production. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen used to synthesize compounds needed for structural integrity are readily available from air and water. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, the building blocks for healthy plants, are usually not present in sufficient amounts in the soil to support plant growth. These are known as macronutrients. In addition, micronutrients, such as calcium, sulfur, and magnesium, are also necessary, but in smaller amounts.Table 1 shows the role of these nutrients in plant growth. Commercial fertilizers are inorganic or organic compounds that replenish the soil with additional nutrients to increase growth and keep plants healthy. In 2001, 53 million tons of fertilizer was used by the agricultural industry in the United States. Nitrogen fertilizers use ammonia as the building block for the production of water-soluble nitrogen-containing compounds, such as ammonium nitrate. Phosphorus is mined from natural geological deposits and mixed with sulfuric acid to make water-soluble phosphate compounds. Potassium is supplied as potash (potassium chloride) from evaporation of sea water. In the United States, the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) is concerned with consumer protection. AAPFCO works with industry to promote the safe and effective application of fertilizers in an effort to protect soil and water resources. It also oversees standard methods for fertilizer analysis to ensure that fertilizer labels are accurate and consistent with nutrient content.…
